Of course, they are themed around the appropriate guilds and thus bi-colored. Building on how Theme Boosters for Dominaria performed, these 35-card booster packs with one rare or mythic rare card make another appearance.
Guilds of Ravnica is sold in 16-card boosters (one card being a marketing card), two planeswalker decks and the Guilds of Ravnica bundle. The story spotlight cards no longer tell you the order they occur in. The cards that represent the Story Spotlights in Guilds of Ravnica are: Thousand-Year Storm ( ), Guild Summit ( ), Assassin's Trophy ( ), and Firemind's Research ( ). The guilds fight internally between the forces pulling them toward or away from Bolas's influence. He is trying to slowly influence Ravnica and warp it to his needs. The story gears up for the final showdown with Nicol Bolas. The story occurs mostly in darkness with shadows and moodiness, similar to a film noir. Each Guildgate is featured in two common slots, each with different art, much like Wastes in Oath of the Gatewatch. Neither contained in boosters are the 8 additional planeswalker deck exclusive cards - numbered #265/259 to #272/259 - and the Buy-a-Box promo, which has the number #273/259. They're all autumnal versions of the Richard Wright basics from Ravnica: City of Guilds and are numbered from #260/259 to #264/259. The 5 basic lands of this set are not included within the 259 cards, meaning that they won't appear in booster packs but only in the planeswalker decks and the Bundle. To get a guild watermark, the card has to be two-color, optimized with two colors or use the guild keyword. Watermarks are used to better identify the guilds. The set features five of the bi-colored Ravnican guilds: Selesnya ( ), Boros ( ), Golgari ( ), Izzet ( ), and Dimir ( ). The name of the set is rather similar to the Ravnica: City of Guilds, but Wizards of the Coast doesn't perceive this as a problem. Boosters may include randomly inserted premium versions of any card. Guilds of Ravnica contains 259 cards (111 commons, 80 uncommons, 53 rares, and 15 mythic rares), but there are only 254 functionally different cards since all gates have 2 common slots.
